Thanks for the info. Where did you get the pipe and what was the cost. Mark

I purchased it here -> http://japan.webike.net/products/9696671.html

It was $600 something with shipping. Came within about a week from order date.

I also ordered one of these mufflers from webike in April, along with a set of dark gray side covers. Somehow the shipment got 'misplaced' in LAX Customs. Webike have been no help in trying to trace the shipment and neither have the Japanese Mail Service. The US Postal Service first said to contact the supplier and when that bore no fruit to contact US Customs as the USPS system says the shipment is inbound into US customs. I did this and US Customs and Border Protection told me to contact the US Postal Service as CBP are unable to trace packages under the jusrisdication of the USPS. I'm still bouncing between CBP and USPS trying to find the shipment but am now running out of confidence it will resurface. Long and short of this tale, beware of buying from foreign suppliers without some sort of insurance coverage for teh shipment as they are hapy to take you money but reluctant to follow up with any assistance if the package goes missing en route. I'm $800 out of pocket and no one seems willing or able to help.

Welshman, did you use a credit card for payment? Maybe they can help.

Hi Ferrett, good suggestion. I did contact my CC company, I actiually paid via PayPal using a credit card. PayPal have so far been no help and my CC company like to be sure all other avenues to resolve the dispute have been investigated before they will look into it. However, they are now doing just that so I'm hoping some kind of resolution will come out of their investigations.
